An Open Letter
Mar. 8th, 2009 09:08 pmDear Author I Friended Because I Love Your WIP,
Apparently, the only other thing you post are rants about the evils of Republicans. After the first one I read, I admit to skipping them because they are filled with outrage and vitriole. Plus, back in the day before I became a committed moderate, I was a Republican. Yes, you read that correctly. And it gets worse! My ENTIRE family - discounting some Libertarian leanings - are Republicans. Your rants about the idiocy of right-wing talk show hosts and elitism and whatnot sound awfully familiar to me. Why? Because I hear them from certain uncharitable family members about the left. You see, both sides try to stir up hatred and outrage and general discontent among the public to further their own agendas. In fact, many people actually make their living from stirring up such feelings. On the right these people would be: Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity. Michael Moore is a prime example of this type of individual who is on the left. There are many others. They are manipulating your emotions to such a degree that I fear for your health and general wellbeing.
Honestly, if you are getting that worked up about stuff, maybe you should consider not listening to/reading/watching the individuals who stir up such unhappiness in you.
Your Friend,
Twasadark, who believes that you should be able to post whatever you want in your journal but please remember that lots of people of differing beliefs read it.
PS - BIG BIG kudos to those of you on my flist who I have respectfully disagreed with who welcome debate without descending into namecalling and hysteria. THANK YOU.
